Still unable to find the citrine pendulum a customer bought from me on Etsy. I did however find my two personal pendulums and he happily picked a different one. Labradorite. Goodbye beautiful mineral! I did have a nice chunk of citrine I was able to include. He’s been the sweetest. If a guy named Timothy from Chi-town hits you up, he’s legit awesome. <3

And I wasn’t going to bring my laptop this weekend but I needz interwebz so I’m sucking it up and taking this bad boy with me. I do have most of Saturday by myself. Which is kind of nice. Large groups of people make me nervous. It’s just the thought of so much human interaction. Festies are a bit different though. Rolling or dropping K sure does take the edge off though.

And if they don’t sell this weekend I have a beautiful pair of rhodonite earrings to put in the shop.

Feeling a little inadequate as a dancer and hooper. I’m just jealous of some people’s natural ability to pick things up quickly. Sigh. I hope I make the summer camp masquerade troupe so I can show everyone what’s up.

// Masquerade Troupe//

I hope that  the ‘likes’ on youtube for the masquerade troupe don’t play a huge factor. :/ And honestly I also hope that because all the videos with the highest likes are hoopers and I just hope they pick more than just hoopers because then it will be just like Electric Forest. Sigh.

I’m having a jealous day again. A dance studio posted they were interested in a hooping class and everyone called in to say they could teach. By the time I called they had already had something like 6 people call about it. My beautiful friend got the gig. I’m not really jealous she got it, I was surprised so many people in PGH hoop. I think I’m jealous because I started hooping in 2008 and most of the people started within the last two years. Sorry everyone. I’m not trying to show tumblr nation I;m a jealous person, more that I get jealous and I’m trying to proactively figure out why. I’ve had to take so much time off from dance that I’ve fallen behind and new people have shown up. I have to stop being jealous of others and just do the best I can for me and it will fall in to place. Maybe it’s not jealousy but impatience? 

If you read that thank you. And if you have any advice for maintaining inner peace or anything you’ve struggled with I’d appreciate it.

Thanks everybody <3

So, I mailed an etsy purchase at the post office today and the options come up and she just goes to first class parcel which was $2 something but the first option was only .84 cents! I’m starting to think that put some kind of hidden convenience charge just for going into the post office. Weighing them at home seems to be so much more helpful. Most of the packages I mail to friends and swappers I just weigh and stamp at home. All I can say is unfortunately shipping will start becoming a bit more expensive in the shop cause that’s some bullshit.

Kind of freaked out about my job situation. Something needs to change soon or I’m going to have problems just affording my bills. Which I already have a problem with but I deferred two of my loan bills for a few months and they start back up in April.

My camera also seems to not be working too well. It doesn’t seem to be able to focus on standard or macro. Great. Now I gotta buy one of those. Dammit.

Trying to get more things up in the shop but I really need to clean and work on choreographing a dance.

Unable to get photos to copy on to post at the moment from etsy. Very frustrated. Can’t wait till the dumplings and the shrimp with lobster sauce her here. So hungry.

I’m about to open a cab of whoop ass on the girl I did the hoop swap with. Almost four months since I held up my end of the bargain. She only lives at most 4 hours from me. When my boyfriend goes out of town and leaves me his car I’m driving to Maryland. Screw it. Small bonus she works at a head shop. Mmm glass pieces.

I should be calling in for my ‘on call’ at work but fuck that. Has anyone else worked a job where they were ‘on call’ and the company would have them call in and then make them call back an hour later just to tell them they don’t need that person to come in? I’m not even on the schedule for next week. Fuck UO, it’s nice that I get a 40% discount but when you pay me minimum wage and then don’t schedule me it makes it hard to spend money on cheaply made bullshit from China.
